HE HAS GONE THROUGH

Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading: “He has gone through to the highest heaven … He felt our weaknesses and was tempted in every way that we are.” (Hebrews :4:12-16)

Reflection. “What he (she) went through!” How often we say it. We know people who have had a hard time and we read or hear of others in the media. Jesus went through it all. Hebrews is remarkably down to earth is describing the human Jesus. When we unpack the phrase “he saved us” we basically come down to his entering our human condition and living all the consequences. We can each elaborate what that “all” means, But it means all. He saved us because he was the “way” of living totally in the truth, no matter what the consequences. He did not even flinch from death.

Prayer. Lord, you are the way, which is truth and life. Help us to follow in your way. Amen
